Twelve Etudes for Children (No.5 The Barbarian Beat)

The style and time signature of Etude No.5 were inspired by Bartok's "Mikrokosmos," with the composer's intention to introduce "complex meter" to the player throughout the piece. In addition to navigating complex meters, this piece demands strength in the fingers, hands, and body to control the sound, creating an aggressive, harsh, and powerful tone.
